We want to see a struggle. We want to see people falling over but getting themselves back up on their feet, and that's what's extraordinary- ordinary people and their struggle. There's nothing as interesting as real life out your window. You walk down the street for half an hour, I'll give you half an hour of drama.

I believe without a struggle there is no fun. If everything comes easily to you then there is no sense of satisfaction at having achieved something.

I love it when people say "What a horrible, lousy idea." I think that's great … I hate the comfort zone … I don't think that anything that's really creative can be done without danger and risk.

It is a difficult thing to like anybody else's ideas of being funny.

I promise to show a struggle beyond expectations.

I don't mind when people are unambitious. It's up to each person to decide that. But it bugs me when the people who aren't ambitious try to bring down those who are.

I still feel like I gotta prove something. … There are a lot of people hoping I fail. But I like that. I need to be hated.

It is better to struggle at work you really enjoy than to succeed in work you find boring and which fails to excite you.

I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble. Not knowing how hard it is to carry on when no one loves you.

It’s the struggle that counts. You have to be willing to struggle.

They want to see someone forced into action and positively overcoming obstacles.

Success is never so interesting as struggle

It’s no fun looking down on people if you can’t let them know you’re above them.
